Public bug reported:
1) Ubuntu 14.04 creating an Ubuntu 12.04 lxc container.
2) Version: 1.0.7-0ubuntu0.1
3) /etc/hosts should have been:
127.0.0.1 localhost
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
127.0.1.1 <hostname>
4) /etc/hosts was:
127.0.0.1 localhost
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
127.0.1.1 <hostname>
According to http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-
reference/ch05.en.html#_the_hostname_resolution the loopback address to
use in this case is 127.0.1.1 and it is what for example maas
provisioning does. This would help software that expects the hostname be
resolvable work inside lxc containers.
